Notes:
* Miles Davis is a good person to track over their career cause he went from hard bop to cool jazz and post bop to fusion think of him as the David Bowie of jazz.
* Get a feeling for major genres (swing/big band, hard bop, bebop, etc)
* Everybody played with everybody so always look up all the people who are playing on any album. Miles Davis got introduced in Charlie Parker's band, and Herbie Hancock got introduced by Miles Davis; etc.
